En savoir plus sur le livre

Told from the perspective of Louis de Conte, a fictional page of Joan of Arc, this novel explores Joan's life in three parts: her upbringing, military triumphs, and trial. Mark Twain, who viewed this work as his most significant, presents a sympathetic portrayal of Joan, suggesting the English manipulated her trial to convict her of witchcraft. Departing from his usual humor, Twain dedicated 15 years to researching this historical fiction, aiming for a serious treatment of Joan's legacy. The edition features premium acid-free paper.
